Default Whaaat ???

So I put some BMR lowering springs on and got a 1.75" drop instead of the 1.25" I had expected. No biggie. Well today I put on my Race Stars and my front dropped another 1". Now the tires on the race stars are actually .75" taller than the ones that came off. Noticed that the front tires are noticeably leaning in at the top (negative camber). Will at least need an alignment but will that bring the front end back to the previous height? Front wheels are 15x3.5 and rears are 15x10

Alignment should have minimal effect on ride height.

just dont understand how changing wheel/tire would cause drastic camber change

Less width on inner tire. This is where adjustable upper or lower a-arms would come in handy.
